Victory Prima Pils

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

White short lasting head, with a nice balanced smell of fruity and floral and very fresh, clean hops. Decent amount of bitterness up front with a honey, malty sweetness following. Good hop presence that fades into a semi quick slight bitter finish. Grassy, and floral and very fresh hop like flavor. 2nd time I’ve had this and I really like this beer much more than the 1st time around. Great, refreshing beer.

A pilsner, to be sure - pale, clear, and plain, visually. Aroma is smoky. Aroma is deep and rich. Aroma is hints of pork and cabbage. Taste is delicious, rich and hinting of other flavors.

Overall experience: Visually this is not a stimulating beer, but so rewarding in other ways. It’s delicious in terms of taste, though not overwhelming in any way. It’s feel is enveloping, smooth, and mellow. Its aroma is enticing, but not overwhelming. It’s a wonderful beer, and easily my favorite pilsner.

A fantastic pilsener from the United States, an all too rare feat. Prima Pils pours bright yellow with a big white head that leaves plenty of lacing. The aroma is fresh grain and strong, sharp, spicy hops. It smells like a wet barley field with a strong whiff of lemon peel shavings and apple slices. The flavor is fairly hoppy for the style, but there’s a wonderful malt presence. It’s a thirst-quenching beer that doesn’t cut corners.

A beer that summer was invented for. Nice hop bite, with a bit of floral hops. It beckons you to keep drinking. Freshness can be a concern, because without the hop bite the drinkability suffers.

Aroma: The aroma is clean with flowery notes and hints of malts. Appearance: The beer poured bright yellow and brilliantly clear with a tall white head. Flavor: The initial taste had a bitter bite and herbal notes. As the beer warmed up the flavor became crisp flavor. The malt’s presents increased and rounded out flavor. Mouth feel: It has a light body, mild carbonation and medium dry finish. Overall Impression: A clean beer, in line with style guideline. Over all the beer was enjoyable beer to drink.

THIS could very easily be one of the best American Pilsners I’ve ever had. First time was on tap at Map Room in Chicago, loved it. Pours clean with fluffy white head that lasts all the way through. The body and hops truly accentuate each other, and the mouthfeel is perfect for the style. Have one if you get the chance.

One of my favorite American pilsners. Sweet but hoppy aroma. Kind of bready. Nice golden color with a white fluffy head. Pretty sweet for a pilsner but a nice bite in the finish. Medium bodied and refreshing. Very good choice for a pils
